I know you all really enjoyed learning about Vincent Van Gogh this year and you created fantastic paintings of ‘A starry Night’.

Van Gogh loved to paint self-portraits of himself. I would like you to paint/colour a self portrait! Have Fun!!

S.P.H.E:

I know how difficult it is being at home every day and not being able to see your friends. We all miss school, going on trips with our families and having a routine. What are you doing at home during this hard time to make yourself feel happy and calm? Can you write a few sentences to let me know how you have changed your daily routine and what cheers you up? Can you draw pictures to represent your fun activities.

Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, talk to you all soon.
